            On National Miners Day, Jackson Kelly PLLC recognizes and celebrates
all of the men and women who work in America’s mines and for all that they do to
maximize our natural resources and make our modern life possible. Miners are at
work in every state, extracting coal, gold, salt, limestone, granite, copper,
iron, zinc, gravel, and dozens of other essential stones and minerals.  They
supply the raw materials for much of the energy we depend on as well as our
roads, our electronics, and many household products that we use every day.

 

            Thank you for all that you do every day!

OSHA DELAYS ELECTRONIC FILING UNTIL DECEMBER 15

For clients and friends of Jackson Kelly PLLC

Volume 13, Number 25

©2017 Jackson Kelly PLLC

 

          The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) delayed the
compliance date for employers to electronically submit their injury and illness
data until December 15, 2017. OSHA finalized the regulation last year, which set
forth new requirements for certain employers to electronically submit their
injury and illness recordkeeping forms via OSHA’s website. Depending on
establishment size and industry, covered employers must either upload their 300a
or their 300a, 300 log and 301 forms.

 

          OSHA’s final rule on the matter is scheduled to be published in the
Nov. 24 Federal Register. The delay allows “affected employers additional time
to become familiar with a new electronic reporting system,” OSHA states in a
Nov. 22 press release.

 

          In a recent hearing before the Education and the Workforce Committee,
Secretary of Labor R. Alexander Acosta said OSHA is seeking to refine the
regulation further and mentioned privacy as a concern. As a result, it is
anticipated that OSHA will propose additional changes to the rule in the near
future, however, it remains unknown what all those changes may be.

 

          For further information regarding submission of your OSHA logs, please
contact the author.

            On November 13, 2017, the Department of Transportation (“DOT”)
published a final rule that expands the DOT’s current drug testing panel to
include certain semi-synthetic opioids (i.e., hydrocodone, oxycodone,
hydromorphone, and oxymorphone). DOT drug testing regulations, which apply to
all modes of transportation regulated by DOT agencies, allow testing only for
specific drugs listed in Part 40 of its regulations. This new rule expands that
list.
